I would have been an Anti-Federalist. At the time of the Constitutional Convention, the proposed Constitution did not include a Bill of Rights. That was one of the main issues. Anti-Federalists had. Another strong concern they raised that I would have had was the checks and balances system. That is in the Consitution, but even to this day, the judicial system seems to have fewer checks than the other two branches. Finally, many Anti-Federalists felt that most decisions should stay in the hands of the states. The discussion of what level of government should make important decisions continues today on issues like abortion, gay marriage, and other controversial matters.
